CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track: 10/17/18

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

https://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/

YER EDITOR SEZ:

And so, once again, the lovely Olivia drags us kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Gonzo has an Instagram account!

www.instagram.com/gonzo_weekly

“Whoopidoo!” shouts my imaginary reader-base. And, as I only have the vaguest idea of what Instagram actually is, I have no idea if that aforementioned “whoopidoo” from the imaginary occupants of my inner head space is one of triumph or derision. But, no doubt, we will soon find out. After all, I was terribly scathing about Twitter once upon a time, and over the last eighteen months I have become a hard-core resident of the Twitterverse, as I believe it is called.

We may still be listening to the same music, but it’s not 1972 anymore, and it is time for us to embrace the brave new world which awaits us, grit our teeth, and wait and see what happens.

Enjoy!

We are still waiting for news from the hospital, but Corinna doesn't want me to pester them although I am sorely tempted so to do. But she is the boss and I will do what she instructs. In CFZ news I have pretty well finished Lars Thomas' book about the mystery land animals of Scandinavia and the Baltic States, and over at Gonzo the first volume of Kev Rowland's The Progressive Underground is also imminent. And at Fortean Fiction my latest novel - 'Zen and Xenophobia' - vaguely a sequel to 2015's 'The Song of Panne', has been uploaded etc, and Corinna is just checking the proof copy. It is, I should warn, not for the faint hearted being nastier and more prurient than its predecessor.

Back to Corinna, she is still largely pain free, and continues to be the magnificent woman I have always known that she was. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Being at the receiving end of such a torrent of positive vibes is a truly wonderful and humbling experience, and it is one of the main things that keeps us going.

And by the way chaps and chappesses, a trip to the Jon Downes megastore may seem to be in order:

Meanwhile I continue to pretend that I am a popstar, because now I have sold eight whole copies of my new album Coldharbour. If I continue at this rate I will get a silver disc sometime at the beginning of the next millenium. Coldharbour, by the way, can be found here: https://jondownes1.bandcamp.com/releases

I think it is really rather good, but then again I would say that wouldn't I?

SPECIAL NOTICE: If you, too, want to unleash the power of your inner rock journalist, and want to join a rapidly growing band of likewise minded weirdos please email me at jon@eclipse.co.uk The more the merrier really.

* The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 59 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?
